"I can't disagree with them, but I know where my heart was and I think that it's never an excuse to do something that is out of place and not of its time, but to me, it was just putting -- a blasting cap on."
"When Ben called and said, 'Hey I’m doing this thing' and, you know, I think Sean Penn had passed on it or something. Possibly wisely. And I thought, 'Yeah, I'll do that' -- and then I started thinking, 'This is a terrible idea, wait a minute,'" Downey recalled.
TooFab White actors wearing black-face makeup will be acceptable once black actors wear white-face makeup. Until then, why not just hire an actual African American to play an African American.
TooFab This movie is like 10 years old. Why are we talking about this ?
TooFab
TooFab I wasn’t offended at all and that movie was fucking hilarious.
TooFab That movie was legendary. Please dont start with the rasicm thing. Come on!
TooFab stop trying to start something... we black people had no problem with this because he felt real and we as black people know what they were trying Trey in this movie and how actors whitewash everything
TooFab I think he done a great job with this role it was a hilarious movie we watch it all of the time. People are too offended with everything that happens anymore everybody is not racist or putting cultures down or making fun of people he did nothing wrong
TooFab I swear this role here reconfirmed my thoughts of you being a great actor...
TooFab RDJ polled all of his 6 black friends? Good to know
TooFab Thats why it was 10% ..key word 'was'
TooFab You're a liberal, bro. Nothing to see here.
TooFab y is this coming up? it's not a new movie wtf
TooFab 'I killed one ... I killed the one thing I love the most' 'A hooker? Okay here's what you need to do..' 'A panda' 'Amanda? Come on that's probably not even her real name' 😂😂😂
TooFab I didn't know it was him until someone told me and I still didn't believe it I was beyond confused 😂
TooFab Could they find a black actor for the role?
TooFab Hollywood needs balls again. Cringe now
TooFab Most iconic comedic role of all times! That shit couldn’t even make me mad cause it was flawless and funny.
TooFab I've been BLACK for 38 yrs, and I was never offended nor did I think about it in that way. He was FUNNY AF that's all that SHOULD count..... Dam I wish this were the 90s again. Ppl to dam soft 😤
TooFab To tell you the truth.. I was NOT offended by his “blackface” role.. simply because HE DID NOT do it to make fun of African Americans, I felt he did it to show how great of an actor he is, moreover, the character Kirk was not a Buffoon.
TooFab Damn.. somebody is really reaching to get a race thing going...wtf?
TooFab Ppl are missing the point. it was Blackface.. 1minute blks are anti blackface, the next they're like 'oh it was a funny role, it didn't bother me' what is ur true stance on the blackface. if ur cool with it then dont bicker over Julia Robert's being considered to play rosa parks
TooFab Make a Les Grossman movie please!
TooFab You ma ma ma mayyke me happppppy!!
TooFab That preformance was one of his best!
TooFab Loved him in that role ..
TooFab None of my peeps were offended by this. I think he is/was awesome 👏🏾
TooFab For some reason it didn't really bother me. I wasn't offended by the role....
TooFab Nothing wrong nor racist doing black, white, yellow, red or brown face. Hate is in the heart.
TooFab I loved it .
TooFab
TooFab No one bats an eyelid at white chicks though? And rightly so because it’s a comedy! But still hypocritical to be offended by one and not the other. Eddie Murphy has played white characters a number of time. No one gives him a hard time about it because it’s funny as fuck lol
TooFab Who cares!!!
TooFab ....And nobody cares
TooFab
TooFab Russell Crowe should be the one offended.
TooFab It's a classic!
TooFab Downey Jr is sooooooo over rated 🤢🤢🤮🤮
TooFab I was reading a comment that someone said “ I want to see more race crossovers in Hollywood “
TooFab Role was hilarious
TooFab I thought it was a great movie!
TooFab What Ben Stiller Did When Playing Someone Named Jack? Was More Offensive.
TooFab But that notmyariel shit was a thing 😕
TooFab the point of the role was to show how using black face was wrong.. that's like what the character in the movie comes to realize as the movie nears it's end.. So the woke people pointing to this as some kind of thing, need to actually watch the movie to see the point
TooFab Why is this a topic on tmz?
TooFab there was nothing offensive about the role. He was playing a white character playing a black character. It was funny. The black guy even joked 'what do YOU mean 'you people'?'
TooFab
TooFab I love this movie. Hush.
TooFab Come on now...y’all went way back to 2008 to be offended? Enough.
TooFab It’s a damn comedy!! Get over it you flaked!
TooFab Since we're strolling down 'Talk Shit' lane do this one too
TooFab Before I even know who he was when I watched this for the first time, I legitimately thought it was a black guy.
TooFab He should’ve WON the Oscar! OscarsSoWhite
TooFab this doesn’t count as blackface to me🤷🏾♂️ I dont see nun wrong with it
TooFab Ya man. RobertDowneyJr you said the “R” word. I got put in Twitter jail for that!
TooFab I wasn't offended, I thought he did a phenomenal job.. he was playing a white method actor who took shit to far.. funny funny funny
TooFab Shit was funny af though 🤣
TooFab It was awesome. I’d like to see more racial crossover acting going in myriad of directions 👍
TooFab We should all be able to make fun of ourselves and each other. Lighten up and laugh people. We’re funny.
TooFab He was just playing a character who cares lol
TooFab Why are we talking about this now...
TooFab Of course, he is friends with Behar, Kimmel, Trudeau, & Northam. Etc. lol all libs who say they’re not racist. Haha
TooFab We're not doing this. Stop bringing up old shit to be mad about.
TooFab I would rather criticize his current film
TooFab need to rewatch that
TooFab He played the guy, who played the guy
TooFab Dude hasn't been to Alabama yet.
TooFab
TooFab Here yall go stirring the pot again.
TooFab I’m black and I found it funny ass hell 🤣
TooFab F'k the haters this movie is iconic! 😂
TooFab That was hilarious!! Stop being sticks in the mud and laugh for once.
TooFab The easily offended won’t ruin this film for me. I’ve watched it at least once every year since it came out on dvd. It’s funny.
TooFab It’s a movieeeeee
TooFab What about the movie soul man with C Thomas Howells
TooFab If they were offended by it they missed the whole point of it
TooFab Really after 10yrs after it came out they still write about it. Get over it. It wasnt done to offend anyone n if it did man up
TooFab Character was a brilliant idea. There is BLACKFACE and then there was this deep character with a twist. Kind of like the Wayne’s. Disguised as white chicks. Not white face
TooFab It’s a movie. It’s ok
TooFab My farm?
TooFab It was hilarious and I don’t care.
TooFab I love that movie! I was laughing my ass off
TooFab
TooFab one of the funniest characters ever created was in Tropic Thunder
TooFab Classic character 😂 Me and my boy quote this movie even to this day
TooFab For some reason me watching this movie I do not feel this was blackface for some reason even when I realized it is still didn't seem like well he did a great roll
TooFab I mean like how many black friends you got?
TooFab One of the funniest movies
TooFab I thought this movie was hilarious 😂.
TooFab Cause his friends speak for everyone 😂
TooFab That shit was epic lmao..no complaints over here lmao
TooFab
TooFab All i know is the movie was funny asf
TooFab
TooFab C Thomas Howell's career declined after Soul Man, so RDJ has a point. That said, i watched this the other day for about the 10th time, and while I laughed like I always do, I knew the time would come where the sjw crowd would make a big deal out of this.
TooFab JacobLaube
TooFab Stirring the pot I see smh yall trash.
TooFab Those 10% are more like 2% twitter mob of white self righteous millenians. Who then suck up 90% of the attention.
TooFab It's a movie you people believe rdj was really iron Man
TooFab Stream or get it on Blu-ray today!
TooFab
TooFab I thought this was Russell Wilson!
TooFab So you listen to Joe Rogan, too? Congratulations.
TooFab Y’all better come for those Wayans brothers too! I thought he was hilarious... and actor getting into character and not realizing how offensive he was to his fellow actors.
TooFab It's not blackface, learn history.
TooFab Listen this shit was funny IDGAF!
TooFab 'What do you mean 'you people'?'
TooFab that was then. Times change and we are getting more intolerant & butthurt about EVERYTHING now. You cant impose todays crybaby mentality onto past times. That was then, this is now.
TooFab FFS THE WAYANS DID WHITE CHICKS. ITS A DAMM MOVIE
